I took a drive out to north Scottsdale, way north Scottsdale, to check out the Four Seasons resort. It's fairly new and I had not been there before so I thought it might be a good place to take some photos. Two things about the resort surprised me. First surprise was how well it blends in with the surrounding desert. It blends so well that I drove right past the place and had to turn around and go back.
But, I guess if 4 million of us can live here all summer then a few northern and easterners can visit here in the summer.
As you can see from these photos, the style is distinctly southwestern in what might be called Pueblo Style.
I'll post a few more photos tomorrow.

This looks like a really nice resort to visit...
It sits perfectly in its surroundings!
All "Four Seasons" are usually pretty nice places. This one looks like one of them and I am ready to see the next pictures tomorrow.
This is really a beautiful resort and I'm so glad they chose native architecture.
You can tell the architectural design has been so well thought out, it really fits with its environment perfectly.
I'm curious to know where your water supply comes from in the really dry summer months Sharon and do you have year round water restrictions?
I like this very much. The desert should look like the desert. so many of these places try to green it all up.
It is gorgeous! Love the architecture. A friend of mine and I used to ride a motor scooter to way north Phoenix and walk the desert looking for Gila Monsters. We found one when it ran across my foot. That's when we went home.
4 million. In 1951 when my folks moved there I believe the population was 150K. Average humidity was 7%. :)
It looks gorgeous, Sharon! But I think I'd rather visit in February.
Oooh I think I should love this but like Pat, I'd do it in the winter!
Reminds me a bit of The Boulders.
It does blend into the desert quite nicely, which you wouldn't expect with a hotel outfit.
Beautiful looking place.
Lovely, lovely place. Frank Lloyd Wright certainly would find the blending into the landscape a big plus!
It looks gorgeous, I like the Pueblo Style!
Loved this Four Seasons series. The complex is perfect for a desert location. Everything fits in.
